Vegetarian Crisp Candied Sweet Potatoes
6 large sweet potato
2 tablespoons margarine
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup water

Place potatoes in a large pan; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; cook 10 minutes. Plunge potatoes into cold water to stop cooking. When cool enough to handle, peel and discard skin. Cut potatoes into thick slices or chunks; refrigerate. (If desired, this can be done the day before.)

Cook at a slow boil over medium heat until potatoes are brown and crisp around edges. Turn; brown other side. With a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a platter; reserve in a warm place near the stove. Add remaining potatoes to skillet; cook as the first batch. Serve immediately.
